Vitamins and other supplements

[mae141]

In the weekly check-in I noticed many of us are taking lots of vitamins and supplements, and it made me curious. What do you and your DH take for fertility? 

[mae141]

Me:

Prenatal with DHA
Calcium
Vitamin D
Extra Folic Acid
CoQ10 (4 pills a day- and that stuff is expensive)


DH:

Male fertility supplement (from the RE, also expensive)
CoQ10 (same dose as me)


ETA: I forgot baby aspirin for me and fish oil for DH.

I just take a prenatal.

H takes:
CoQ10
Vitamin C
Vitamin E
Men's formula multi-vitamin
+ Clomid

I'm not currently taking anything. I kind of gave up for the last 2 months. I went on a trip and forgot to take them and then just stopped. But I was taking:

Prenatal vitamin
Super B complex

H takes:

Men's multivitamin
Green coffee something or other
Fish oil
And occasionally Vitamin C

I take:

Prenatal with DHA
Calcium
Folic acid
Baby aspirin

H takes:

Men's daily vitamin (double dose)
Folic acid

We would more for H, but his issues are due to vericocele, and no amount of supplements will change that.

Prenatal though I am bad at remembering to take it. H takes multi vitamin and fish oil but he does it for him not fertility.

Prenatal, calcium, and vitamin D.

Not to specifically help with conception though, just to be healthy.

For health I take B Complex, Vitamin D, Prenatal and Fish Oil.

Just the pre-natal with DHA.

H - nothing
I take Target brand prenatal - not the one with DHA. I've had no issues with it.

What's the MG dosage on your CoQ10?   I hear REs recommending it a lot, but never a dosage amount.

We both do 400 mg twice a day.

Oh, and Codliver oil capsules, which is vitamin A and D.

My family is Norwegian, it's an old fashioned habit for good health.

I take a prenatal and vitamin D.

H takes a multivitamin, vitamin D, and fish oil.

None are directly related to or for fertility. I used to also take vitamin B6 and baby aspirin, but felt like I was overdoing it, since none of it was recommended by my doctor.
